Anyone playing? I'm not done with it yet, but I'm digging the improved gameplay (buh-bye, hacking headaches!). Graphics look the same, but they weren't broken, so can't complain. I will say the character animation looks improved- the NPCs seem more expressive. Although the story isn't as...

I have a player that wants to start up a bugbear, which is ECL 4 (3 HD of "humanoid levels" and a Level Adjustment of +1). Do you think it would be okay to swap out the humanoid levels for class levels of the players choice? It seems to make sense, since I feel the LA +1 takes into account the...

Hey, folks. An old friend of mine and I have decided to keep in touch by playing an MMO together. We've chosen Guild Wars for several reasons: there is no monthly fee, it seems friendly to casual players (we only plan on playing maybe once a week), you can have computer controlled "red-shirts"...

A bugbear has a LA +1. He get +4 Str, +2 dex, +2 Con, -2 Cha, 60' darkvision, +3 natural armor, and +4 move silently. He also starts with 3 "bugbear" levels, making an off-the-shelf bugbear an ECL of 4. Say I wanted to let a player replace these humanoid levels with 3 regular core class...

Writing's quite good, actually. http://www.bloodspell.com/

According to Green Ronin, Blue Rose is at the printers. Anyone have a guesstimate as to when I can walk into my FLGS to pick it up? I have a nice fat coupon burning a hole in my pocket: 30% off any non-wotc d20 product. Expires Jan 31st.

Just read about it on the front page. I'm stoked. This sounds exactly like the d20-lite game I've been day-dreaming about ever since I bought UA. Just the skill-based magic system alone is worth the buy. All the fluffy romantic elements are optional I assume? Can't wait. Who's with me?!?!

Ok, so I pop open a new pack of Giants of Legend and I'm thrilled to get a frost giant. I look at the bottom and it turns out he's rare. Okay, so I guess I can forget about having an encounter with more than one frost giant. Sure, maybe I can trade for one or buy one online. But why does...

Hey gang, I just posted some alternate 3.5 ref sheets over in this thread in case anyone's interested. Droogie

Hey folks, I thought I'd share my ref sheets if anyone's interested. Like Wilz's Ref sheets,these were created based on Angramainyu's work, although I took the liberty of adding everything plus the kitchen sink. They're in word format so you can carve them up as you wish.There are 16 pages in...

There's a nice little economic system in Expeditious Retreat's Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe. Nice, but I think it could use some refinement. As that book is open content, has anyone developed a similar system based on those rules? I have some ideas of my own but I was wondering if...

Can a pc with the Heal skill use it on the very first saving throw for poison and disease? Intuitively I have to say no, since the skill is only used on the PC's turn and by then its too late. Whats the opinion of people here? Also, the heal skill says that 8 hours of light activity is...

I have a character in my game with low intelligence. The PHB says you don't factor in the extra points at first level-you simply add 4 to the final total. Fine--- that sounds like you get your extra skill points after you adjust your current skill points for Int. HOWEVER, its not really clear...

Anyone have a solidified release date of Fields of Blood: The Book of War by Eden? Supposed to be this month. I'm getting antsy. Need. It. Now.

Ok, I'm going to GenCon this year, for the first time EVAR. However, It was a kinda spur of the moment thing, and we only made our reservations recently. I checked the gaming events, and looks like everything I wanna play is full. I guy I met said not to worry, since many people don't show up...

Ok, the party is pretty much done with the module and to make a long story short, Calcryx, the white dragon wyrmling is in its (newly repaired) cage and theirs for the taking. One of the characters, a wizard/ranger, has much interest in the little creature and wants to subdue it. His plans...

Anyone see anything? Is it stuck in development, never to see the light of day?

Ok, I understand that clerics need to meditate for their spells at the same time every day so they can only regain spells once every 24 hours. No problem there. PHB says arcane casters need 8 hours rest before preparing new spells. Any spells cast in the last 8 hours count against their total...

Tossing a spear is a full-round action. Surprise rounds and readied actions are partial. However, my common sense seems to tell me you could throw a spear fast enough if you catch someone by surprise, and if you readied an action to throw a spear at the first thing to walk through the door, why...
